The moon was high above the skies over Lively Town and the members of the Expedition Society had already turned in for the night. The sound of Emi's soft breathing was the only source of sound to be heard. Next to her was her partner Ralph. The two had known each other since they had gone to the same school, but now they were full fledged members of the Expedition Society. Emi had agreed to do this only because she wanted to help Ralph achieve his dream of becoming an adventurer. This was the third night she was staying the the Expedition Society HQ with Ralph. But it was obvious that nobody had joined the their team yet, it was started about a week ago after all. But within that short amount of time , Emi had been seeing dreams every night. It was confusing to her about who had been reaching out to her through her dreams, but she was determined to keep a secret until she could figure out who it was.
"Is this another dream?" asked Emi. Suddenly the voice echoed throughout the area.
"Emi......" the voice whispered.
"It's you, who are you?" Emi asked.
"Emi......help....." the voice whimpered.
"Help?" asked Emi.
"Help....danger..." the voice whispered.
"Who is it, who's there?" asked Emi.
"World......danger.....they.....need......help....." the voice whispered.
"Danger?" asked Emi.
"Help.......world......needs....you," the voice whispered. Suddenly the dream began to waver and the voice slowly began to fade away.
"Wait don't go!" Emi called out.
"Be.....careful......" the voice whispered as it faded away. Emi shot out of bed gasping. She looked around the room. It was already morning and sunlight was pouring in through the window. Emi sighed as she looked over to Ralph who was still fast asleep.
"Help, that voice said this world was in danger, but from what?" Emi asked herself. "For the past few days I've been getting the same dream, but I haven't received any new information," "I suppose I'll have to keep waiting," Ralph yawned as he slowly sat up.
"Oh man morning already?" groaned Ralph.
"Good morning Ralph," said Emi.
"Oh morning Emi, you're up pretty early," said Ralph. "I suppose, it's because you're excited to get the day,"
"Um actually..." said Emi. But her statement was quickly interrupted.
"Yeah, don't worry, you'll feel even better after breakfast," smiled Ralph.
"Probably," said Emi. She looked away trying to hide her worries from last night's dream.
"Come on, let's go, don't wanna be late for morning roll call do ya?" asked Ralph. He slipped the bag over his head and shoulders.
"No, no we don't wanna be late," answered Emi tying the green scarf around her neck.
"Well then let's go!" said Ralph running out the door grabbing his scarf. Emi was worried about last night's dream but decided to shake it off as she followed her partner out the door. Emi joined Ralph and the rest of the Expedition Society members in the large room where they usually did roll call. It appeared that she was last. She quickly ran to her position.
"Good, it seems everyone has arrived," said Ampharos.
"Anything new chief?" asked Buizel.
"I was just getting there Buizel," replied Ampharos. "Now then considering that we only received our newest members just recently, I wouldn't want them to do any risky work so I want them to continue using their Connection Orb," "However I was informed about a strange Mystery Dungeon that appeared just yesterday," The room was filled with oohs.
"A new dungeon!?" asked Bunnelby?
"Yes, from the news I've received, it appears like any other Mystery Dungeon, but the secret lies at the end of the dungeon, apparently as you go deeper into the dungeon, it'll eventually lead you into a completely different world," answered Ampharos.
"Wait it leads you into another world?!" gasped Archen.
"Doesn't that sound like....." stutters Dedenne.
"The Ultra Wormholes," answered Ampharos seriously. The room immediately fell into dead silence. It hasn't happened before, but for some reason, lately mysterious holes have been opening up in the Pokemon World that lead to different dimensions, Emi didn't know how or why it started, but witnesses who have entered these Wormholes by accident almost never made it out alive. Because they were attacked by vicious creatures, they began to name these holes, Ultra Wormholes. "I plan to send word to the neighboring towns, to report directly to us if they find anything similar," said Ampharos. "That includes the Wigglytuff guild and the Pokemon living in Post Town,"
"Wait quick question!" said Ralph.
"Yes, what is it Ralph?" asked Ampharos.
"So technically, you assigned the creation of the world map to us right?" asked Ralph.
"That's right," answered Mawile.
"SO technically that means we're allowed to go into this new dungeon right!?" asked Ralph excitedly.
"It's true I want you to work on making the world map, but it's a new dungeon that leads to who knows where, it's going to be quite dangerous," answered Ampharos.
"But what happens if someone needs help in that dungeon!?" asked Ralph.
"We leave it to some other member," replied Ampharos.
"But....but..." Ralph stuttered.
"Ralph I'm sorry, I know how excited you are, but I'm afraid I can't risk putting you two into any dangerous situations until I learn what's at the end of that dungeon," apologized Ampharos.
"It's true especially since Ultra Wormholes are appearing more frequently now," said Mawile. Ralph looked down disappointed.
"I'm really sorry Ralph, but don't worry I'll be sure to let you go explore once I get more info on the dungeon," said Ampharos smiling. "So please just focus on you're work for now ok?
"Yeah alright," said Ralph suddenly perking up. "I really wanted to go now, but I guess I can wait,"
"Great, then let's see, Mawile do you think you can go to that dungeon with Bunnelby?" asked Ampharos.
"Of course," answered Mawile.
"Great, then Mawile and Bunnelby will go to that new dungeon, everyone else will continue their work as usual," ordered Ampharos. Everyone nodded. "Well then, give it your all out there team!"
"Yes sir!" everyone answered as they split up. Emi looked over to Ralph, normally he wouldn't give up on something like this, why did he accept it this time? Emi shook it off as she followed after her partner. And so the two did their work for that day, ate dinner, and went to bed. The next day during morning roll call.....
"Alright team, today is a new day!" announced Ampharos. The room suddenly erupted with cheers from the members. "So far on updates, I've received news on the new dungeon,"
"Already?!" gasped Archen.
"So from what it looked like, it definitely DID look like any normal dungeon, it had a total of 9 floors, but something strange happened that changed everything," said Bunnelby.
"Normally as we proceed through dungeons, we wold continue to encounter more enemies, but when hitting the seventh floor on this dungeon, all signs of enemies had completely vanished," added Mawile. The entire room was soon filled with gasps.
"It wasn't until we got onto the eighth floor that we started encountering strange multi colored ponies that can talk," said Bunnelby.
"Multi colored talking ponies?" asked Ralph confused.
"Is it a new Pokemon?" asked Swirlix.
"I don't know, but when Bunnelby and I hit the ninth and final floor, we soon found ourselves in a strange world inhabited by those strange ponies," answered Mawile.
"Anything else?' asked Ampharos.
"No, from what we learned there's nothing dangerous about these ponies, however most of them seem eager to learn the magic of friendship as they put it," answered Bunnelby.
"So it's safe to go in am I right?" asked Ampharos.
"Yes, you can reach the dungeon from the gates hear in Lively Town," replied Mawile.
"You hear that Ralph?" smiled Ampharos.
"Yes, we can go explore!" cheered Ralph excitedly. "Oh one more question though,"
"What is it?" asked Mawile.
"What was the dungeon called?" asked Ralph.
"Well the dungeon doesn't exactly have a name yet, but the ponies were calling their strange world something," answered Bunnelby.
"What was it called?" asked Jirachi.
"Equestria," Bunnelby and Mawile answered in unison.
